No meds here. Just a multi-vitamin in the morning. Along that note. In the 3rd grade, maybe 4th, my teacher handed me an envelope to take home to my parents. I did not know the contents and mom did volunteer work at the school so nothing seemed out of the ordinary. The next morning, DAD drove us to school. Dad NEVER drove us to school! But DAD drove us on this day. Dad sat me down in the lunch room and proceeded to the principal's office just around the corner. I could hear dad YELLING at he principal, behind closed door. Mind you, I went to a CATHOLIC school, my principal was a NUN. Turns out, the envelope contained a letter where my teachers were recommending me be put on Prozac or Ritalin or whatever Tic-Tac the doctors were handing out at the time. I can still, 40-some years later, hear dad YELLING at a NUN, "We have learned to handle his energetic spirit, you better find a way also because we WILL NOT drug our son and you WILL NOT tell us how to raise our children!" Still to this day, my peers cannot keep up with me. And that energetic spirit has served me well! Luv Ya, Dad. R.I.P.

I think I'm going to start tackling these this way -- https://github.com/barbushin/javascript-errors-notifier/releases I was hoping to just keep ALL of my polyfill usercripts enabled ALL THE TIME but I suspect that's just gonna cause of lot of web sites to break. By using this extension instead, I won't have to open my console every time a web site requries a polyfill, I just need to pull down the icon because it turned red to indicate the page has javascript errors then enable the appropriate polyfill and reload.

I've always had that delay. I wouldn't swap .dll's between 1030 and 2036, the index numbers for several translation strings do not match. If you navigate through the settings, you may see text in spots they never used to be at. Did you check for that delay with and without the site isolation flag disabled?

The results are always good for per-computer comparisons (different browsers on the SAME COMPUTER). But the results have never been good for computer-to-computer (my computer versus your computer). Speedometer is great (IMO) for desktop/laptop comparisons but essentially worthless (I am told) as a mobile phone benchmark.

"Don't sweat the small stuff. And it's all small stuff." I have coworkers that play the game of constantly pointing out other coworker's mistakes. It never ends well for the person doing the "pointing out". Again, it's a "superiority complex". It has often even landed the person "doing the pointing" in HR for their "superiority complex", them "not playing well with others", them not being a "team player".

I can assure you that if you spend time correcting coworkers' typos, this WILL hold you back in life. It's actually impolite and somewhat akin to a "superiority complex". I guess unless you work for a newspaper and strive to become Chief Editor. edit - perhaps a better explanation -- you're not the first to correct typos and MEANINGLESS (in the grand scheme of things) typos and grammatical errors here at MSFN, the next time you see somebody doing that here at MSFN, ask yourself if you want to be lumped in with that person and have all the rest of MSFN stereotype you as "one of those people". Most of "those people" tend to always land on "ignore lists" because of the "superiority complex" that they unconsciously convey. I do not direct that to you, of course. You asked me to explain and that's my explanation, typos are MEANINGLESS to me, whether I am reading them or whether I am typing them, simply MEANINGLESS, lol.

I'm quite certain that he meant "stay away" not in the sense of abstinence, but in the sense of not expressing his opinion on the matter as he suspects his opinion would offend other MSFN members. In that regard, I too kind of "stay away". But I'm sure I have more then TEN posts, lol.

Not sure I agree here. This is how it SHOULD work. But my sister had PTSD (due to a miscarriage) before serving in Iraq. She drove a tank that delivered food to civilians. An Iragi soldier in civilian clothes threw an INFANT in front of her tank, she was trained not to stop, not that you can stop a tank that fast anyway. She came home with PTSD x 10,000 compared to what she had going in. Here in the US, there are times of war where our military will take anybody they can get. Not uncommon to take in "juvenile deliquents" and the military gives them a clean slate, erases all of their criminal history. The military MOST of the time (not all of the time!) does break them from this "criminal behavior". I also submit that there are some mental health issues that don't show up until you're in your 30s but our military takes you at 17 with parental consent, 18 otherwise.

It's very different to me. Past forums I have been on were very topic-limited. MSFN has a much broader base and topics are like sinusoids. Lots of ups. Lots of downs. Active threads jump around quite a bit. You'll have one month were the "overactive" thread is all StartAllBack. The next month the "overactive" topic is a Roytam thread. The next month the "overactive" thread is XP antivirus. That's a very broad base and I have to put "filters" in place to HIDE (out of sight, out of mind) when uninteresting-to-me "overactive" topics make the topics that I am interested in seem like a needle in a haystack. The drama and elitist attitude, I tie that to this being a "pensioner hangout", which I definitely see it as. Think of a teenager - they "know it all" but don't really know anything, doesn't prevent them from coming across as "know-it-alls". The "pensioner hangout", on the other hand, is at an age with "years of wisdom" but still the arrogance of not fading into the sunset and handing the reigns over to the next generation (whether they are prepared to take the reigns or not we kind of have to blame ourselves, we brought them up, afterall). Or something like that...

All I can do is laugh so hard that I'm crying. Metaphorically speaking. A little over two years ago, the "web" basically forced me to migrate from NM28 to 360Chrome because I want ONE browser to do ALL of my internet needs. Two years ago, I could no longer pay my water bill via NM28 and 360Chrome became my ONE browser for ALL of my internet needs. This month's water bill will not open in 360Chrome but does open in latest NM28 (but I do not own a phone and require Google Voice which does not work in NM28 or St52 or St55). I guess I have until next month's water bill to see if I can polyfill whatever in Hades my water bill company just rolled out. It's a vicious and unending circle!
